How to approach a call centre in Johannesburg
Go to the company's own careers page for its current vacancies. Check the advert for the campaign, the shift pattern and the pay before you apply. A genuine call centre will never ask you to pay for an interview, a uniform or a training kit upfront.
For the wider picture of hiring in the sector, read why call centres struggle to staff.
Keep a short record of what you have tried. Note the company, the date you applied and the role. It makes follow-up easier and stops you applying twice for the same campaign.
